For the soul of the church.
When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had The land. They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, we had the Bible in our hand, and they had the land. --Jomo Kenyatta, Kenyan independence leader and first president
Harold Lewis, an African-American priest who once served as national director of black ministries for the Episcopal Church, finds an irony in the fact that white, conservative Episcopalians collaborate closely with African and Asian bishops, but, "coming as they often do from lily-white environments, they have little by way of relationships with African Americans."
